Each morning that God allows you to awake is a gift. But the gift is what you make it. The new day arrives like an empty box, waiting to be filled. The choice becomes yours as to what your day or box will hold. You can pack the box with treasures, or you can load it down with troubles. Think about it, many things that you do are by habit, without thinking, just because it is easy and comfortable. Those things you repeatedly put into your box, day after day. Often you leave little room for anything else.
Just imagine if you were to open today’s box a year from now. Will there be things of true and lasting value inside? Would you be able to distinguish today’s box from all the rest? Would there be something worth passing on to your children inside?
Once the box for today is packed, that’s it. You can’t take anything out, nor put anything else back in. Once the day is done, the treasures you could have had are either yours or they are not. There is nothing you can do to change the contents of your today once it becomes your yesterday. Yet tomorrow dawns early, bringing you another box that’s empty... yet full. How can that be? It is full of new possibilities, new opportunities, new dreams, and new hopes. So it awaits you to pack it.
Remember, each day comes fresh and new. It delivers a empty box to your door. I dare you to choose to make them all special. I dare you to stuff them full of life and living. I dare you to fill each day with things that a year from now, you will be proud to share with everyone. So open up your mind and your heart as you receive the treasures that can be yours.
